Inspired by Ken Wambua, here first time to record my work and life on X- Today checked orchid specimens at The East African Herbarium (EA): 1. Satyrium chlorocorys - New for Kenya; 2. S. fimbriatum - New for K6; 3. S. crassicaule, not S. scaeptrum; 4. Not S. stairsii, but Disa stairsii.

Today’s new identifications to the orchid specimens The East African Herbarium (EA) : Holothrix pleistodactyla confirmed to be a new record to Kenya. Roeperocharis bennettiana, the second collection of this species in Kenya since the first in 1935.

A few more because I really love them! 🥰 📷: A. tuberosa, cinerea, longifolia, variegata

Wish a visit in future

My sincere thanks to the many herbarium staff The East African Herbarium (EA) for your support over these two months. I’ve gained a great deal of knowledge about Kenya orchids, thanks to the richly curated and well-organized specimens. I hope to visit the herbarium again in the near future.

Leaving Kenya and back to China. Many heavy books taken and the longest overseas journey for me.
